WASHINGTON: Anger over the Trump administration’s tariffs and rhetoric will likely cause international travel to the US to fall even further than expected this year, an influential travel forecasting company said Tuesday.
Tourism Economics said it expects the number of people arriving in the U.S. from abroad to decline by 9.4 per cent this year. That’s almost twice the 5 per cent drop the company forecast at the end of February.
At the beginning of the year, Tourism Economics predicted a booming year for international travel to the US, with visits up 9 per cent from 2024.
